More speculation

Well, any word on anything ? Hopefully Round 2 makes their announcement very soon.

You're right. Just saw the date on the box. Model King 64 Comet was released in 2005.

That one was announced about a two months ago. That's the same kit that Dave Burkett aka The Model King helped get out about 8 years ago.

Those would look great on a diorama clearing a grassy field for runway ME-109's or FW-190's parked in the background.

I saw the pics of those too. Lot of good stuff coming out. Wes's Model Car Corner should be getting the Garbage truck at the end of this week,

Don't lose hope. Keep letting Round 2 know of your request.

Actually, I was one those that was banging his head against the wall because Round 2 wasn't reissuing the 68 Coronet. For years, I was mailing letters and emailing Round 2 requesting for them to release the 68 Coronet kit. I also, was from time to time, bringing this topic up to stir interest on this kit subject. I agree with the fact, it's not because they don't want to, but I think maybe the feasability years ago wasn't there because of the cost to redo tooling and or redo masters. Now it's feasable. 3d prototyping, the ability of re-engineering kits is making these lost oldies come back to production . Am I wrong or right? I don't know. But, that's the direction Round is taking now. What's happened now within the last year or two; 2 64 Cutlass kits (a convertible and hardtop), 63 Chevy ll wagon and another 63 Chevy ll wagon with trailer kits. My gut feeling says we'll see other surprises coming down the line of subjects that builders will be doing back flips over when they are announced. Round has recognized that their builder market is into the early 60's to early 70's subjects. Great news for most of us. Lets continue supporting Round 2 by buying their kits and emailing them our requests. They see this message board. They do listen. A couple members here consult with them and we truly appreciate that support.

I agree. I still have my Tom McEwen Revell/Army rear engine dragster from 1974. The build nice with all the wiring that comes in the kit. Also, that kit came with the Tom Mc Ewen figure.

That hanger shot didn't start this thread. The AMT 64 F-85 Streaker Altered wheelbase kit was among many kits mentioned by the forum members as possibly being Round 2's big announcement. It's was just speculation, I was the one that asked if someone could post the pic of the AMT 64 Cutlass hanger shot in this thread, because I thought the altered wheelbase parts were in the hanger shot, which some are and some are not. It just happened that there is another kit named the Streaker, which is the Corvette Street Machine kit that was just announced. Anyway, just wanted to clear that up.

Will Round 2 be at the National Hobby Show in Las Vegas next week? Maybe Round 2 will announce the mystery kit at that show?

Absolutely. Within a couple years SJR has been the forefront in the release of vintage Nascar subjects. Now, they are well known. They are picking up from where Revell and MPC left off years ago. Manufacturing of these kits are here in the U.S. The kits are priced ok. They are very in tune as to what subjects nascar builders want to see. They are doing well.

Is the 32 Ford Phantom Vicky kit the big annnouncement Round 2 was going to make?

So true. Buy today, then Round 2 makes the big announcement on Monday that they will be releasing the AMT Streaker F-85 altered wheel base kit.

Well, if you want an AMT Streaker F-85 kit any sooner , one is on ebay right now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203708050945?hash=item2f6df22e01:g:0a8AAOSwao5hmVz0&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoNwcCJpBoUY%2F%2FU0TE2HGeflJnwiMYGcz6QrU%2FxYZsEfIX1npO3KSYzQ01%2F9FCJbOh2ULupGMzYY9Qi%2B5iFzwxHkUrl67zX2BbEbmdTB1ewA4u2c3AbtqVDU9%2Fd4SrA4qQzHumgu6ckk%2BKrcQqUn05ffktr1%2FrWKRoWNa%2BbQoqFMIjnR5EdtSMVKVKXOUvYa90QSsHO0zqB01qvIsjVV8v68%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5jGmYPXYA

Well. looks like this thread ran it's course. I guess we'll just wait to see what Round 2's announcement will be in the near future.

Me too. Really excited about this. Probably at or close to the top of the list of most requested kits. Good chance this will sell well.

I only built one, as well and that was the AMT 57 Chevy 3 in 1 kit that I bought in the mid 80's.

Well here is a built up of one. Maybe this will be the big announcement?

Can someone post that hanger shot here?

Update on the MPC 68 Dodge Coronet R/T convt kit. Looks like the release will be early 2023. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/mpc978

Another vote for the retro boxes. Keep them coming Round 2.

I think I'll add another possible subject. Sonny and Cher Mustang kit.

Would that color have been Chartreus. I guarantee that was spelled wrong.

I hope everything is ok with him. I miss reading his posts.
